Cerakote Review
Gun Coatings: Cerakote
Everyone has Cerakote on their guns nowadays, but what is Cerakote? Is it really the wave of the future in the gun coatings industry?
Gun Coatings serve many purposes:
- Gun Coatings are functional: they provide benefits over bare metal or factory gun finishes
- Gun Coatings can be used to mask heat signature for military or special law enforcement and special operations
- Gun Coatings are cosmetic enhancements
- Gun Coatings can add bulk to loose tolerances
- Gun Coatings can be a fun way to personalize your firearms
- Weather, oxidation and other gun enemies are good reasons to explore gun coatings
- Camouflage is possible with certain gun coatings (one of the original reasons for modern gun coatings)
- Gun Coatings are typically more accessible to the end user than other firearms finishes
So, given all of these basic premises (and we will cover the basics much more in depth later), where does Cerakote brand gun coating fit in?
